March 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Norton Antivirus Internet Security features Symantec's brand new SONAR, or Symantec Online Network for Advanced Response. SONAR provides you with real-time protection against known threats as well as detects unknown protection risks based on their behavior. When SONAR picks up a new high-certainty threat, or a threat that most carefully matches the behavior of other threats, this automatically blocks and removes it out of your computer.

Antivirus Internet Security 2012 also marks the debut of Symantec's Bandwidth awareness function, which can be used to restrict your network adapter's data transfer usage. Symantec has also leaped on the secure search bandwagon, adding its Norton Secured Security Logo to Internet Security. The tool displays a Norton Secured logo next to search engine results that Symantec has determined to be safe. Norton's Insight tool takes a granular look at the software on your computer, from how trusted the program is to how often it's run and how your main system's resources it uses. It provides users a better idea of what software could be affecting their computer's startup time, as well as overall performance, something advanced users in particular will appreciate.

An optimization tool is designed to speed up your computer's trunk time by stalling when software roll-outs, but not only could it be hard to find (it's in the top right part of the Norton Insight screen) it also takes a while to run (about Fifteen minutes). Before running the tool, it took One minute and 55 mere seconds to boot our Dell 14z and after running, this took 1 minute as well as 28 seconds. Based on AV-Test, (see http://www.scan.com/category/anti-virus/ ) Norton Internet Security 2012 carried out very well, just not in addition to some of the other fits we tested. In the malware detection check, Internet Security was able to identify 98.94 %. While that's greater than the average of Ninety-seven.3, Bitdefender's Total Security 2012 caught every thing, and Kaspersky caught 99.4 percent. When it came to cleaning up malware, Norton Internet security software performed especially nicely, clearing out 83 percent of threats, much better than Bitdefender's antivirus 80.7 percent cleanup rate. Such as Bitdefender, Internet Security didn't produce any false positives and was able to successfully about to block 100 percent of all suspected malware infections.

A Quiet Setting limits interruptions from antivirus Internet Security 2012 based on a set list of parameters. Three settings include Silent Mode, that you simply turn on manually and runs for a arranged amount of time; Full-Screen Detection, which activates Silent Mode when a movie or simply game is operating in full-screen mode; and Quiet Mode, which activates Silent Setting whenever it detects that you are recording something with Windows Media Center TV Recorder or are burning up a disk.
